Can anyone point to an official Lycoming definition of continuous operation?
I suspect a lot of us assume it means "more than five minutes", but consider, for example a propeller limitation. Running a prop in a resonant range for more than a few seconds is not a good idea, as stress cycles are cumulative.
(Yes, I know prop limitations are not set by Lycoming. It's an example).
